ISLE OF MAN
The Isle of Man is nestled between England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, in the Irish Sea. We have lived here since 2018 and have been reviewing various places since we arrived.
This page lists all reviews we have written from the Isle of Man (as well as some non-location based reviews) to make it easier to differentiate them from any UK reviews. I have also added the reviews to a map so that you can choose somewhere close to home or something further afield.
If you are not from the Isle of Man (often affectionately known as ‘The Rock’ – hence the name ‘Kids on the Rock’) then have a look at the Visit Isle of Man website for some further information. It is a beautiful place to live or visit, with many great things to do for young or older families.

The Cafe At The Sound
The Cafe at The Sound is an amazing spot to grab a bite to eat and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We love coming here and it’s amazing how long Millie enjoys playing on the grass with just her imagination and no toys or play equipment! ACCESSIBILITY Access into the cafe

Laxey Glen Play Area
Laxey Glen is another of our favourite places to go for a walk. Not only do we enjoy going to the cafe (read about it here), but the glen is beautiful and a really fun walk with toddlers – keep your eyes peeled for the crocodile! The path from the
